Acclaim
“A breath of springtime in the middle of the winter, this vivacious white from northern Italy has a pretty nose of spiced pears and mint and more substance than you often find in Pinot Grigios at this price. It will make you forget that it’s still frozen outside; it would be excellent with a similarly springy green salad.”
